> We merged the tuple destructuring PR (that was open for years again so the author was happy to get it to land somewhere!) and upstream followed there too.

FYI that had very little to do with OpenD merging the tuple syntax - at least from my perspective - Timon may feel differently. I was the one who got the ball rolling on the DIP for it and kept pushing the process forward, and I also helped Timon and Nick get it over the finish line by fixing an ICE in the backend caused by destructuring a tuple of structs.

I've wanted first class tuple syntax in D since 2013, and when Timon mentioned not having time to do a DIP for it, I offered to help. It would've happened regardless of whether it got merged into OpenD or not.
